Pearls Music Review

Average Rating: (4 out of 5 stars) 4 stars

4 stars A great collection of songs by one of the best
Elkie brooks is a very underated English singer who had some chart success in the late 70's early 80's. Prior to this She and Robert Palmer fronted the cult rock bands Dada and Viniger Joe. This is a collection of Elkie hits, new songs and new covers (She has a knack for choosing less obvious songs to cover and then making them very special). Her voice is pure power and she can belt them out with the best of them, on more intimate tracks he husky delivery adds a wonderful quality to even th eblandest of songs. She is a true musician and a great talent, this album proves this.

San Francisco's precocious Death Angel finally reached musical adulthood (though some band members were still barely old enough to vote) with 1990's Act III. Their first album to benefit from major-label distribution and a truly top-notch production courtesy of Max Norman, it also witnessed the continuing development of lead guitarist Rob Cavestany, who literally dominated the album with his impressive chops ...

Graham Bond Sound Of 65/There's A Bond Between Us CD (1999) (Import) United Kingdom

Pearls CD music

$18.59

Like his contemporary Alexis Korner, Graham Bond is one of the unsung heroes of the early-'60s UK R&B scene. Both led groups that incubated talent which would later mature and eclipse their own groundbreaking efforts. With Bond it was his rhythm section, Ginger Baker and Jack Bruce, who later became two-thirds of Cream. Both of the organist's albums included here offer an intriguing snapshot of this fertile period in Britain when jazz and blues coexisted quite happily. Bond was a firm fan of Ray Charles, which extended to both his choice of material ("What'd I Say?") and also his approach. A talented player himself (both organ and alto sax) as well as a vocalist, Bond was generous in showcasing his sidemen ("Dick's Instrumental" for tenor player Dick Heckstall-Smith) and tended to pepper the staple Beat group repertoire with his own compositions. "Camels and Elephants" is an early example of both Ginger Baker's composing and drum solo style. "Hoochie Coochie Man" replaces the malevolence of Muddy Waters's version with something altogether jazzier and as such is the perfect introduction to Bond. Digitally remastered edition that combines the tracks of 2 original LP's on to a single compact disc from the man whose band included Ginger Baker and Jack Bruce before they left to form Cream. Bond was popular amongst his peers for his driving organ and pioneering jazz-rock. ...

Tammy Wynette Anniversary: 20 Years Of Hits CD (1987)

Pearls music CDs

$8.25

Coming two decades after the one-two punch of "Apartment #9" and "Your Good Girl's Gonna Go Bad," 1987's ANNIVERSARY is a fine summary of the highest points of Tammy Wynette's early career. For the casual fan that just wants a quality collection of the hits, ANNIVERSARY is hard to beat. All of the hits are present and accounted for, from epoch-defining masterpieces like "Stand By Your Man" and "D-I-V-O-R-C-E" to less familiar but no less worthy gems like "Don't Wanna Play House." The 20-track collection ...

Elkie Brooks Pearls II CD (1982) (Import) United Kingdom

Pearls album

$15.59
Having finally succeeded with the album Pearls, the logical step was to release a successor, Pearls II, and producer Gus Dudgeon's services were retained to repeat the formula, but unlike the first volume which had utilized her five hit singles to date, Pearls II was a good idea but lacked the original songs to created that spark of magic a second time. The hits taken from Pearls II included the Gallagher & Lyle song, "Our Love," Rod Stewart's "Gasoline Alley." and a strange choice of a cover version as one of the of the defining songs of the 1960s, "Nights in White Satin," which was given the Elkie Brooks treatment, and despite the mystical swirling synthesizer sounds that formed the intro, never really worked and lost most of the power of the original. Even stranger for a choice of covers was the Pink Floyd classic "Money" from The Dark Side of the Moon which was so associated with the original that even Brooks struggled ...

Wanda Jackson Wanda Rocks CD (2002) (Import) Import; Germany

Pearls CD music

$25.79
For those who have encountered Wanda Jackson in the sets of Neko Case, the wild rockabilly posturing of early Pearl Harbour & the Explosions, or on compilations or her comeback during the early part of the 21st century, this is a compilation made in heaven -- or hell if you are simply a fan of her later gospel records. Bear Family assembled a whopping serving of tracks and put them on a single disc. Her first-ever rockabilly original is here, "Baby Loves Him," as well as "Honey Bop," her politically incorrect but oh-so- damned-fine version of Earl Burrows' "Fujiyama Mama," and the burning honesty of Jesse Stone's "Money Honey." Her version of Arthur "Big Boy" Crudup's "My Baby Left Me" is arguably the definitive one. Her readings of Richard ...

Sukilove CD (2003)

Pearls music CDs

$14.69

Following up 2002's Talking in the Dark, ex-Metal Molly singer Pascal Deweze's full-length debut as the leader of Sukilove shines a dramatically different light on the Dutch songster. The ambitiously simple orchestral pop enchants from the start of the textured rhythms on the opening track, "Time to Go." Also, it's immediately clear that Deweze has left behind the power pop fuzz of Metal Molly's sound in favor of a more humble and relaxed approach to songwriting. Slowed down and not battling with rising electric guitars, his voice is all the more impressive on songs like "Hang On" and "Computing Beauty." The pop overtones do not mask the undeniable melancholia that graces many of Deweze's lyrics, and the subtle instrumentation matches perfectly throughout the 13-song disc. "Just a Lazy Day" freezes the listener, gracefully poeticizing lack of ambition and combining it with wistful instrumentation, while "Did You Ever Feel So Lonely?" also packs a powerful punch, using simplicity to paint a picture of solitude and despair. "Unforgivable" again startles the listener with its unique approach to betrayal. He also tackles unbridled love and romance, reminiscing on "Talking in the Dark," and unloading a series of odes of adoration on "Please Don't Ever Change" without relying on trite conventions. "Man (Ain't Man Enough)" comes as a certain surprise, offering a playful epic to battle against deep-rooted conventions of manhood. The soul-searching grace of "There's a Light" and barebones acoustics of "Good Blood Will Prevail" round out the impressive disc. Drummer Stoffel Verlackt, bassist Pieter Van Buyten, and guitarist Helder Deploige round out the quartet. Guest musicians include Bettie Serveert's Carol Van Dyk on vocals and ten others, making Sukilove an even more startling group effort. Hidden Agenda Records released the disc in 2003. ~ Stephen Cramer Personnel: Pascal Deweze (vocals, acoustic guitar, accordion, piano, electric piano, organ, percussion); Helder Deploige (vocals, electric ...
